Which one of these steps in the communication model involves overcoming any barrier that hampers the message's clarity?

Message passes through medium and encounters noise
Sender encodes a message
Receiver decodes message
Receiver sends a feedback to the sender

The correct answer is: Message passes through medium and encounters noise

In successful communication, the message must be clearly understood by the receiver. However, external factors such as noise can interfere with the message's clarity, making it difficult for the receiver to understand the message accurately. This is where the communication model's step of overcoming barriers plays a crucial role. Option A, where the message passes through a medium and encounters noise, is the correct answer as it explains this step. The other options, B, C, and D, are incorrect because they simply describe the sender encoding a message, the receiver decoding the message, and the receiver sending feedback to the sender, respectively. While these are all important components of the communication model, they do not specifically address the step of overcoming barriers to clarity in the message.
